My dislike for Genesis was visceral, and I loved hating people who loved Genesis. I still feel that way. When Phil Collins went all Against All Odds on everyone, I felt oh so vindicated.Arjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051966548813673687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22651202688624541.post-49627537087286670992008-12-06T11:12:00.000-05:002008-12-06T11:12:00.000-05:00Same for me as Jim.

I was deeply into Yes, ELP and King Crimson and never even listened to Genesis until after they were way past being any good.Solonor Rasrethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09138418082522051768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22651202688624541.post-86269169585111394772008-12-05T18:12:00.000-05:002008-12-05T18:12:00.000-05:00I don't know how I got through my ELP, Pink Floyd,...I don't know how I got through my ELP, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Yes, King Crimson days without getting deeply hooked into Genesis. I blame Petey Clark Jr. Petey Clark Jr. loved Genesis -- I couldn't love anything Petey Clark Jr. loved. This became an incredible asset in early 1980s when Petey Clark Jr. fell in love with Loverboy and the requisite teeny-tiny headbands.<BR/><BR/>I saw the Phil Collins version of Genesis in 1983 or 1984. I think Collins, Banks, and Rutherford (Hackett gone by then) are good musicians -- but not exciting and, frankly, unimaginative. Boring.<BR/><BR/>Gabriel gave them an edge. I'd go back and try to get into old Genesis, but I fear I no longer drink enough alcohol or care what 25-year-old obscure British lyricists write anymore.

Phil Collins lost all credibility for me when he came out publicly saying that if Labour got into governement - late '80s - that he would leave the UK because his taxes would go up. Just about the time that he had a song called Another Day In Paradise in the charts...<BR/><BR/>Still, Genesis + Foxtrot were great in their time. Jealous you got to see them. One thing I think I should (have done) do more of is see live music. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>keep the reviews coming.<BR/>Jfatherjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189614498927797936noreply@blogger.com
